How Do I Keep My Beauceron From Digging? Many DOGS love to dig holes, and some breeds were even designed for it. If you own a beauceron and have a yard, at some point you're likely to run into this problem. So how do you keep a beauceron from digging holes and making a mess of everything? Here are some quick tips that may help you get to the bottom of this problem. The bedlington terrier, a large, unique looking breed, is often described as looking like a lamb on a leash. This is probably because it has fur with a wooly texture. As a result of this fur type, the bedlington does not shed. Possible reasons your beauceron may be digging: The dachshund's name comes from it's earliest use. The dachshund was originally a badger hunter. In German, Dachs means "badger," Hund is "hound". This explains the breed's curious and inquisitive nature, which has survived to this day. �He/she comes from a breed that loves to dig (terriers are notorious for this) �He/she is looking for some attention �He/she is bored and has nothing else to do (this isn't a joke--dogs need both physical and mental exercise to keep out of trouble) �He/she is responding to a natural instinct for shelter and a den �He/she is searching for a mate Pekingese dogs are quite small. This worked out well for their ancient masters, who were ancient Chinese royalty. These royal masters used to carry the peke dogs along in the sleeves of their royal robes. If it becomes clear that one of these reasons is the main culprit, then that gives you various courses of action you can take to take care of the digging. If it isn't obvious, then there are still courses of action you can take in order to help wean them off this problem behavior. Schipperke is Flemmish for "little captain" and the name is appropriate because most schipperkes seem to act almost human. they are happy, intelligent and usually enjoy being the center of the universe around them. First, when you do catch your beauceron digging, be consistent and show them that this is not acceptable. A gentle spray of the hose, a stern warning, or restricting them to a small caged in area may help reinforce these ideas. The name bernese mountain dog is a rough translation of the German "berner sennenhund", which literally means "bernese alpine herdsman's dog". The breed's original name was "durrbachler", after an inn where these farm dogs were bought and sold. Try giving your beauceron a lot of exercise. Beaucerons who burn off energy are far less likely to dig then ones who are excited. This will solve the problem most of the time. Also, pay attention to see if there's a specific time they are doing this. Some beaucerons just like to be helping out, so if you're digging holes in a garden, they think they're just lending a helpful paw! And if this is due to looking for a mate, but you don't want the problems of puppies, you should look at getting your beauceron fixed. The Schipperke, or "little captain", is generally thought of as being solid black in the USA. However, they do actually come in other colors. The reason they are commonly thought to only be black, is that the black variety is the only type currently recognized by the AKC. Try these methods, and with some steady and consistent training you should be able to solve this problem. Rhodesian ridgebacks have an actual ridge along the top of their backs.
